wow this week was shagged and tired man. had ex endurance frm thursday night till friday late morning. trekked the north west part of singapore. total of 36km. 3 man a team carrying 2 radio sets and a field packs full of rations and extra clothing. and that was jus only the beginning.
we set off at 1030pm. before that we had our 1st station. we had to lay lines and know the basic fundamentals of line laying. haha we scrambled and managed to fix the phone and laid the lines. but it couldnt work cos we dint put the batt into the phone haha. we overlooked such seemingly minute details which cost us points. 1st checkpt was at the heavy vehicle carpark at chua chu kang. it was about 4km frm camp. did the rebro test over there and it was ok. the nxt checkpt was at kranji dam. which is all the way north about 7km? haha rough estimate. we walked and walked and walked. when we reached there we could see johor. by that time. my shoulders were numb frm the carrying of the radio sets. we did our field antennae test there. after that we made our way to ama keng to do our pyc500 test. it was a long long long walk man. about 10km i wld say. walked past industrial estates and countless lamp posts. and by the time we made our way to the nxt check pt at kiat hong camp. we were half dead and were dragging our feet man. it was a neverending walk. lamp posts after lamp posts. 3 souls walking on the road with cemetries beside us. we caught up with other groups and made our way back as 1 big group haha.
so much for the ex endurance. this is a crap entry. passin out nxt fri.... counting down the days....

last week was a nice one. met up with a few of my sec sch mates. saturday went to parkway with shiheng jun hua and jin hui. it s been a long time since we met up. they were as crappy as ever esp shiheng. nth constuctive comes out frm his mouth lol. went fish n co to have our dinner. thought we cld catch the epl match but in the end we were too early so we jus sat there and talked.we ordered 2 seafood platter for 2 and shiheng thought the total cost is $18 and he only had to pay 9 bucks. haha how wrong he was man. he jus stunned there when we told him. he complained that he might as well eat up the mussel shells and the plates to fully make thw cents he paid worth while lol.
sunday night met up w jj before bookin in. gd friends since pri 3.went burger king at lia towers to have our dinner. updated each other bout alot of things. basically we are in the same vocation since bmt.still the same as ever. still very tanned and muscular.i wondered if thats with riends whom you know for so long. you dont find much changes in them.
posting came out for our batch. places that need signal specs are 134 squadron 165 squadron armour artillery guards. hopefully i get the airforce first. then either armour or artillery.both are far to me anyway. armour have jj as company so i dont mind lol. i dont wanna go to any of the signal battalion. i will die cos i know peanuts and its not slack at all man.
this week was the Signals Officer Cadet Graduation Ceremony. everyone is panicked cos pm's wife was coming to attend the ceremony. so as the bottom of the army chain. we had more shit workload to do. clean the staicase. clear the drains. wash the fuckin lobby. in return for a nights out on thurs at 5pm. suddenly the place looked lushier. looked greener. so wayang. fuck shit.
2 more weeks to becoming 3rd sgt. pay rise. more workload... ugly cycle.

Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you
That may be all I need
In darkness, she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning, rain is falling and I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you
And you may not know
That may be all I need In darkness she is all I see
Oh, come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow, driving slow (all I need, all I see)
oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah (bones with me)
I'm a flower in your hairyeah
yeah, yeah yeah
maybe its only on sunday morning that we can truly watch the world go by while sipping coffee at a nearby shop. ahhh. nice.

this week was quite bland. monday we had outfield as we lraned how to set up 2 field antennae. maybe its the monday blues that we felt very lethargic and listless. a bad way to start our monday. tuesday was our exercise AHF. was supposed to be islandwide. but in the end it was held all arnd camp. which means we planned all for nth. bastard. booked in extra early on sunday night jus to finish up all the maps. in the end. the ex wasnt a success cos it rained heavily in the midst of the ex. and cc cancelled it cos our camp is lightning prone. so ex cut early and had a whole load of free time so its best of both worlds. thurs and fri were slack. radio prac test the whole of thurs and fri had commander evening. so reached home late.
everytime i book out. mum will rake up the past and start accusing me of nt puttin enough effort for a a lvls and fucking flunked it. forked out so much fuckin money on my tuition and yield miserable results. i fuckinly let her down. she claimed. after that. she started being mesmerised by other ppl's children. how they get prestigious scholarship so they can study overseas. how they get fuckin gd grades unlike me who spent my time wandering amongst the good of nothing souls and becoming one of them. last of all. she wants me to retake a lvls at all costs. and i wld have to fork out the exams fees as a private candidate. fucking hell. it sort of become like a habit for her. like a drug that she has to take before she goes insane. oh wells. i jus listen and forget bout it. but everyone has their breaking point. and i feel i am going to reach mine soon. its depresing especially when the family is not doing well at all financially. wanna learn driving but no money. idle arnd during weekends is making me mad. i want to learn something but i dont know what and the monetary aspect behind it.
been losing touch with the old friends i had. maybe its time to pick up that phone and start re-connecting the lines again.
ugh. this sucks.
